Subject: Pietenpol-List: Introduction..Hello,I just signed on and thought I would introduce myself:My recent interest for Pietenpols probably comes from ultralight flying in France, (where I lived until eight years ago before moving to Florida) towing advertising banners along the coast over the English Channel. I got my private licence in Sarasota, FL.Actually, some people here may know me as the administrator of the Aircraft Builders Mailing List, which is now hosted on planenews.com.I first thought about building a fast plane, like a Cassut IIIM ! I even have a set of drawings for a Midget Mustang... But I miss landing on grass, in pastures, and with an open cockpit... Not to mention the idea of a second seat..My primary concern with the Piet though is that I am 6'2'' tall. I heard about the long fuselage, but is it really long enough?( I am not concerned so much about width..)Have a great week-end, sincerely,Gil.-- http://planenews.comPGP public key at:keskydee.com/gil.ascICQ: 3310801________________________________________________________________________________
